Bug #1360

Boss Fight Mechanics Broken for New Players Joining Mid-Event

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	knightshade9541 on May 11, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	S06.04 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a game as host, on a map with the Core Corruption modifier
2. Find the Greater Core Stone and damage it, starting the event
3. Before the Greater Core Stone is killed, have another player join the game

Explanation

When a new player joins during an active Greater Core Stone boss fight, the boss health bar and -- more importantly -- the purple beams that connect the Greater Core Stone to the pillars it spawns will not be visible.

The pillars spawned by the Greater Core Stone are very, very difficult to find if the purple beam that connects them to the Greater Core Stone is not present, making the event very difficult for the joined player to participate in. The lack of a boss health bar is also annoying, but not nearly as game-breaking as not being able to see the purple light indicators.
